What gift can I give to the teacher for the New Year?

Every year in December, millions of parents are tormented by a problem - what to give to teachers for the New Year? The need for a gift has not been discussed for a long time - how to leave without attention people who work from early morning until late at night as “mothers” for our children? Therefore, the majority of parents perceive a good gift to the educator for the New Year as a tradition, a duty and a sign of respect.

Of course, by purchasing a gift, it is necessary to take into account the identity of the donee: age, hobbies, marital status - in a word, everything that you know about it. Then your gift will become really necessary and valuable for the recipient, causing a lot of positive emotions.

New Year is a celebration of magic, fairy tales, miracles. That is why the gift should also be with elements of surprise, cause joy and delight.

So, what can you give to the teachers (there are usually two) as a New Year's present?

First of all, delicious gifts come to mind.

• Fruit or berry bouquet.
• A bouquet of sweets or a combination with fruit.
• Basket with Christmas teas (ginger, citrus, apple-cinnamon) in the appropriate festive design.
• A similar basket of coffee. Well suited varieties "Belgian chocolate", "Irish Baileys" and others.
• A set that includes jams, marmalade, preserves. Such sets can be purchased ready-made, and you can assemble yourself in a beautiful basket or box.
• Chocolate set.
• Cake to order or a box with your favorite cakes / cupcakes. Now there are a lot of pastry shops at home that make beautiful and tasty sweet presents. A box with traifla or Pavlova cakes adored by the tutor will be greatly appreciated.
• A grocery basket that includes traditional New Year's delicacies - red and black caviar, red fish, good cheese and other products.

As for inedible gifts, you can give:

• plaid in New Year's design;
• beautiful porcelain or ceramic tea pair;
• bright salad bowls;
• teapot;
• a set of crystal glasses (better for the New Year's drink - champagne);
• tablecloths.

When purchasing such a gift, choose what you would love to use yourself. A gift bought on the run at the sale of the cheapest of low-quality material will tell a lot about the donor.

No one forbids, in addition to the general gift from the parents, to hand over the teacher something personally, if you consider it necessary. If you don’t have enough time to search for something truly worthy, a certificate can be a universal gift. He will give the opportunity to teacher to choose the right thing.

At present, all large (and even not very large) retail chains provide an opportunity to purchase a certificate for different prices - from 500 to 10,000 rubles. This may be a center of dishes, perfumery and cosmetic network, a store of bags or accessories, a jewelry salon, a network of electrical and household appliances stores, and home textiles.If you know that the teacher is an avid knitter, give her a certificate to the store of good knitting threads, if she likes to cook, pay for a master class in cooking.

The lover of creative activities (drawing, sewing dolls, pottery art) will love attending a master class on the relevant topics, and the ballet fan will have tickets to the premiere. If your teacher is a fan of healthy lifestyles, a subscription or a master class in yoga or another type of fitness that interests her will greatly please her than a basket of sweets.

As for gifts "from the group" and for her, of course, they are always accepted with pleasure. A rare kindergarten is equipped with office equipment or stationery in such a way that it never needs anything. Teachers are forced to print a lot, draw, so a gift from the field of office equipment or office supplies will be appropriate. It can be:

• high capacity flash drives;
• external hard drive;
• memory card;
• a printer, scanner, copier or multifunction device that combines all three functions;
• all sorts of office.

But these are gifts, rather, for kindergarten, and not for the educator. A personal gift from the field of personal electronics might look like:

• eBook;
• thermomug;
• digital photo frame;
• illuminated aquarium;
• beautiful night light or desk lamp;
• mini fountain;
• picture backlit.

Such a gift idea, like a book, is relevant only when you know for sure that you are giving what your caregiver is dreaming about. Let's say she collects Alice in Wonderland or Little Red Riding editions and you present her the copy that she does not have yet. Or she passionately loves to bake, and you hand a beautiful glossy edition with recipes for cakes and cupcakes. It is undesirable to give gift editions of the Bible, the Koran or other theological books, because faith is too personal. It is worth refraining from presenting icons and images of saints for the same reasons.

If the parents in your group are creative and want to give the teacher or the manager something really special, then, of course, an individual approach is needed. Any printing house or photo workshop will make according to your order. wall calendar for the next year with a photo of children or table throw-over optionwhere the “faces” of each month will be one or two children, depending on how many children are in a group.

To the same category of gifts can be attributed and wall clock with photoprint-image of the group. Portrait on canvas made by a professional artist in photography, will be a surprise for the educator or manager.

An interesting gift will be a set of Christmas balls or wooden toys painted by children. If one of the parents has the time and has the creative abilities, the book made in the technique of scrapbooking, reflecting the most interesting events of the year, will be an excellent gift. There you can paste photos, make the appropriate inscriptions and much more. If there are no such creative personalities among parents, you can do it in the same style photo book with photos of memorable moments from the life of the group.

The original gift will be a book about a person, in this case about a tutor or manager. There are publishers who invent a story about a person (most often it is a New Year's fairy tale) on the basis of a detailed questionnaire that the donor fills in and photos of the donee.The questionnaire lists both the passions of the one about whom the story is written and its features - characteristic expressions, significant events, the names of loved ones, and then the tale is truly personal. Few would refuse to receive a gift book to himself, and even decorated so beautifully!

When planning a gift to an educator or head of a kindergarten, one should not forget that they are official persons, so it is advisable not to cross the border of admissibility. Therefore, we separately distinguish the category of gifts that should not be given.

• Despite the fact that champagne glasses - the gift is suitable, the drink itself should not be given, like any other alcohol.
• Perfumery of any kind - cologne, eau de toilette, perfume. These are things that each person chooses himself. It is better to restrict the delivery of a certificate to the appropriate store, where the tutor will be able to pick up the scent to your taste.
• Any kind of hygiene products - deodorants, shower gels, anti-cellulite creams and more. Do not even need to explain why.
• Massager, inhaler, nebulizer, other medical equipment - this is not a gift.
• Underwear - here it will be inappropriate not only the laundry itself, but also a certificate to the appropriate store.
• Money - Many people perceive such a gift as inappropriate, so if you do not want to offend the teacher, refrain from handing the "envelope".

A present is not only a box in which it is placed, but also a design. The New Year is a time when beautiful wrapping paper glitters everywhere, tinsel sparkles, and Christmas balls and toys burn with colored lights. So pack your gift in such a way that it creates a feeling of joy with one of its kind! If your gift is in a box, wrap it with beautiful paper and decorate with tinsel. You can attach a spruce or pine twig with a pair of cones.

If your gifts are folded in a basket, it is very appropriate to decorate with tinsel and her, put some beautiful Christmas tree decorations, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden figures, tangerines with leaves, bright paper bows. Then your gift will not just look bright, it will smell sweet New Year.
